John Toal presents music by Mozart, Faure, Franz Strauss and Beethoven.

John Toal presents music by Mozart, Faure, Franz Strauss and Beethoven performed at the 2015 Clandeboye Festival in Bangor, County Down.

John Toal introduces the second of four recitals from this year's Clandeboye Festival. Recorded in the Banqueting Hall of Clandeboye Estate, County Down, today's programme begins with Mozart's Flute Quartet in D, K285: a compact work which later inspired Beethoven. Fauré's Cinq mélodies "de Venise" follows, based on poems by Paul Verlaine, whose musicality inspired him. The soprano here is Ailish Tynan. 

Barry Douglas then performs alongside horn player Richard Watkins in Franz Strauss's Nocturno for Horn and Piano Op. 7. Strauss is perhaps best known as the father of composer Richard Strauss, and as a virtuoso horn player himself he is remembered for his pieces written for the instrument. Cellist Andrés Díaz rounds off the programme as soloist in Beethoven's Sonata No 5 in D major, Op 102. The piece belongs to the composer's final creative period, written in 1815 and published in 1817.
